This tool will be used to help support students understanding of adding and subtracting within 10.  The teacher will work with students in small groups with hands-on manipulatives modeling and practicing adding and subtracting with the students while the rest of the group will be working on their blended activity online.  Reminder, blended learning is very new to kindergarteners, so we must have exposed them to working on technology using the blended learning tool before expecting them to be independent.

Create your own shapes using colorful blocks and explore the relationship between perimeter and area. Compare the area and perimeter of two shapes side-by-side. Challenge yourself in the game screen to build shapes or find the area of funky figures. Try to collect lots of stars!

I've recently begun using the game Head Bands to practice and review various skills. It is a TON of fun for students and is a great way for students to practice asking and answering critical thinking questions about a topic.

Introduction to the theory and application of large-scale dynamic programming. Markov decision processes. Dynamic programming algorithms. Simulation-based algorithms. Theory and algorithms for value function approximation. Policy search methods. Games. Applications in areas such as dynamic resource allocation, finance and queueing networks, among others.

Foundations and philosophical applications of Bayesian decision theory, game theory and theory of collective choice. Why should degrees of belief be probabilities? Is it always rational to maximize expected utility? If so, why and what is its utility? What is a solution to a game? What does a game-theoretic solution concept such as Nash equilibrium say about how rational players will, or should, act in a game? How are the values and the actions of groups, institutions and societies related to the values and actions of the individuals that constitute them?

A selection of PowerPoints with English games on them (mallet’s mallet word association; you say we pay taboo; riddles etc). Good for treats/ time-fillers/ starters.

If you are looking for exciting and engaging videos to help your students explore Global History from Ancient Civilizations up to the Cold War, then you have come to the right place. These videos are tailored for elementary, middle and high school levels for Social Studies!

This simple Nrich game is designed to help children become more familiar with common coins in the UK, and to find fractional quantities of amounts of money. The fractions involved are slightly more challenging than those found in Fraction Card Game. Higher-order thinking is required in order to play strategically.

This Nrich game offers students an opportunity to practice calculating fractions and percentages of amounts.

Students will sort pictures between rural, suburban, and urban communities! Simple print and laminate for durability (optional) and then hole punch in the circle to hand on my wooden pine jig for sorting. This is a free download, please enjoy. If you download please leave feedback so I can improve ...

This course provides practical instruction in the design and analysis of non-digital games. Students cover the texts, tools, references and historical context to analyze and compare game designs across a variety of genres, including sports, game shows, games of chance, card games, schoolyard games, board games, and role–playing games. In teams, students design, develop, and thoroughly test their original games to understand the interaction and evolution of game rules. Students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments.

" An historical examination and analysis of the evolution and development of games and game mechanics. Topics include a large breadth of genres and types of games, including sports, game shows, games of chance, schoolyard games, board games, roleplaying games, and digital games. Students submit essays documenting research and analysis of a variety of traditional and eclectic games. Project teams required to design, develop, and thoroughly test their original games."

This lesson is about the estimation of the value of Pi. Based on previous knowledge, the students try to estimate Pi value using different methods, such as: direct physical measurements; a geometric probability model; and computer technology. This lesson is designed to stimulate the learning interests of students, to enrich their experience of solving practical problems, and to develop their critical thinking ability. To understand this lesson, students should have some mathematic knowledge about circles, coordinate systems, and geometric probability. They may also need to know something about Excel. To estimate Pi value by direct physical measurements, the students can use any round or cylindrical shaped objects around them, such as round cups or water bottles. When estimating Pi value by a geometric probability model, a dartboard and darts should be prepared before the class. You can also use other games to substitute the dart throwing game. For example, you can throw marbles to the target drawn on the floor. This lesson is about 45-50 minutes. If the students know little about Excel, the teacher may need one more lesson to explain and demonstrate how to use the computer to estimate Pi value. Downloadable from the website is a video demonstration about how to use Excel for estimating Pi.
